| | Around the neighborhood with Cooper in the SNOW! Okay, barely snow, but tiny little flakes that weren't sticking were coming down. Great to run, still not sure if I'm better. A) I'm not going for enough to allow it to hurt, and b) its different when wearing the ITB strap. So I don't know. Hopefully its on the mend. |

| | What a disastrous 24-hours! Yesterday morning it started really snowing, so they decided to "suspend operations" at 12:30. I was ecstatic! Got to miss evening class too, so I was getting so much cleaning and chores done and loving it! Then the wind and snow really picked up - I tried to make a snowman but it was a freezing blizzard out there (they say 9 or so with the windchill). Then at 7:30pm the power went out.... and didn't come back on until 12:00pm today! Let me tell you, it was 46 degrees (or less) INSIDE THE HOUSE. It was so miserable. This morning I tried to brave the roads to a Starbucks or McDonalds but they were out of power too and the roads were so slick my wheels were spinning and I gave up. ANYWAY, after the power came back on I did 2.7 miles on the treadmill! Long story short eh? I'm not sure how people lived before electricity and heat, but I can't. This morning I would have killed for a gas stove so I could have cooked something hot to eat and drink. I probably would have killed someone for some hot coffee. We also desperately need a lantern, because trying to play cards with ONE flashlight was pretty annoying! I'm upping the mileage slowly, and foam-rolling like a mad-woman. That's my strategy.

| | Really wanted to do my own 5K Turkey Trot this morning, so headed out down to the dog park, one loop, and one back. Knee started hurting about 2.5 but I wasn't going to let it stop me! Stopped at hillside and walked the rest of the way back. Today it was hurting below the knee, where ITB meets fibula. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I ate waaaayyy too much.

| | Goal - burn off some of the pie I ate for breakfast and stuffing I ate for lunch and snack. :-) I don't really care for the other thanksgiving stuff, but stuffing and dessert, I can't resist. AM - 20 minutes on the recumbent bike, then we had to run off to take MIL to the dentist (she lost a tooth last night!) and out to a little Black Friday shopping. PM - 60 minutes on the recumbent bike, stopped after 20 and 40 minutes to do squats, lunges, etc. After 60 minutes walked 1 barefoot mile on the TM. It was irritating the bottom of my feet like TM burn. Yay for 4-day weekends. They are the best.
